Bialkowski has been at his consistent best once again during the 2017/18 season, with his form earning him a first Poland cap at the end of March and putting him in line for a place in his country’s World Cup squad this summer.

The Pole’s form has once again seen him voted as the club’s best player by supporters, adding to the awards he has won in each of the last two seasons.

Only John Wark has won the award more often than the goalkeeper, doing so on four occasions.

Former manager Mick McCarthy revealed in January that his goalkeeper had agreed a new deal, but that has not yet been signed with Bialkowski later admitting there were a number of issues needing to be ironed out.

Martyn Waghorn, who leads the Blues’ scoring charts during his first season at the club, finished runner-up in player-of-the-year voting, while midfielder Flynn Downes, currently on loan at Luton, won the academy player of the year award.
